42 Best Mexican Restaurants in Hillsboro

“How can you beat $5 tacos and $5 tequila shots? The food was fantastic and flavorful, perfectly seasoned, high-quality fish and chicken and skirt steak. I have never had Spanish rice that is so delicious. And the tequila and mezcal shots were fun...such an interesting variety of flavors. Really friendly staff, great service with a high knowledge of mezcal. Highly recommended. Very nicely decorated bar. And check out my boot shaped shot glass : )“

“100⭐The best and freshest food ever. I'm sorry I didn't find this place sooner. THE best service and food. Spot.
Simply THE BEST Mexican food I've ever had. Fresh, Hot, Delicious, Great service. Kind. I will be back weekly.“

“Best Taco Truck in Washington County. Been eating here since the early 2000's when homie would come get his trucks propane filled at Beaverton UHaul. One of the originals and still the best. Was awesome to see the family carrying on the legend today and share my experience. Will continue to support and promote them. If you haven't ate there, do it! What are ya waiting for? ❤“

“Cabeza burritos on a Sunday morning!“

“Husband and wife locally owned and operated! We do catering and events, no group or get together is too small, everyone deserves a taco truck! 😃“

“Fantastic food in downtown Hillsboro!“

“Very authentic Oaxacan food. Even oaxacan gf says it’s legit. The asada tylayudas are huge and very filling and super good and handmade. Their “ empanadas “ and quesadillas use real corn tortillas and are super cheesy with fresh quesillo cheese. Enchiladas and mole are very sweet though and use too much chocolate and remind me of Pueblan enchiladas so that’s the only reason it’s a 4 versus a 5 star. Also best horchata in Hillsboro! Go here if you want authentic real Mexican food and not that “ ooo there’s a water fountain in the lobby!” Type bland restaurant“

“We loved it...super yummy and they made a custom order dish f ou r my son.“

“Just stopped the grab lunch here, guy running the counter was so nice, everything was made fresh off the grill- absolutely PHENOMENAL flavor, fairly priced, nice kick with a bit of spice, easily 10/10 would recommend better than anything you'll find downtown Portland,“

“good food! nice waitress.“

“The best Birria and variety of choices in the area. I can't get enough of the quesabirria while my boyfriend can't get enough of the Birria tacos plate. The amount of food for the price is excellent. The aqua frescas are the perfect accompaniment to their Birria. We always recommend them to our friends and family. You have to try them once to know you'll be coming back again and again.“

“Delicious, local taqueria with greats prices ($1.50 tacos), authentic selection, and hard to find meats, as well as a small carniceria if you're looking for butchered meats for good prices. Will always come out here quality, tasty Mexican food, a difficult to find commodity in Oregon“

“I've had food from here several times. My east Asian friends really like their take on birria ramen.Today I had a so-so chimichanga and a while back similarly something so-so.However, I have really enjoyed the cemitas (?) that are a thick corn masa stuffed with fresh vegetables, beans, and meat.The pork from this stand (al pastor) is a little fatty and chewy for my tastes. The chicken or asada (beef) are better.“

“Best Mexican food we have ever had....and we are from Tucson! And staff was super friendly and helpful!“

“Excelente todo y súper surtida la mejor de portland“

“Went with some friends after fishing all of us absolutely devoured the quesadillas and tortas , we tried a good variety and wow amazing flavor and overall great experience small place but it’s a hidden gem , feels like you enter a actual restaurant in Mexico the seating is very nice“

“we ate at their food truck and the food was absolutely amazing and so affordable. the people were also very nice!“

“Hired for a catering event at our local school & they were nothing but wonderful to work with. They made it so easy & really went the extra mile. Super friendly & helpful. When I returned the catering stands they even gave me a free meal as a thank you! I got the nachos & they were so good. Will definitely be going back—both for catering & for nachos. ?❤️“

“The employee at the front (I believe her name might be Zaida) was extremely friendly and helpful. One of the nicest restaurant employees I have encountered in years! I have not been to a BF in years, but I will be coming back for the great friendly service and the delicious chimichangas!“

“This place has easily some of, if not the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. The Quesabirria was the best I’ve ever had, the burrito was massive and flavorful, the pupusas were perfect and the platanos fritos were so amazing and delicious. On top of all of that they have boba??? And it’s phenomenal. ANDDDDD the service is fantastic. I will be going there again many many times.EDIT: Went back and got pictures! I also tried their Cubana Torta and it was wonderful. And once again amazing service and great vibes“

“So...This is right next door to a Taco Bell. I don't know if Taco Bell ever steals their business, but I always see a line over there, and not at Javier's, and I don't know why. I will admit, these are two different worlds next to each other, so maybe that is the explanation. And don't get me wrong, I love a good crunchy taco from Taco Bell.

But Javier's food is out of this world. Both the quality of food and the freshness is absolutely stunning. The speed of service makes this a weekly go-to for lunch for me and my crew. We have had a lot of items from their menu and, to be extra gringo, my favorites are the burritos and tacos. Specifically, the chicken asado burrito, and the crispy ground beef tacos.

Every time I have gotten food from this restaurant, the quality is ALWAYS 5 stars. It has never changed. The drive-thru and the front-counter folks are the friendliest people in the world. Inside they have a salsa bar, and their salsas are perfect.

They have an extensive menu of items, and even have American food items if you have anyone with you that prefers that. Whenever we visit, it is never too busy, there are never any lines. We arrive, we order, and we leave, generally within 20 minutes or less. The fastest was 10 minutes! And the food was still exceptional.

I won't say that I won't go to a Taco Bell, but I definitely won't go to the one next door. If I'm in the area and have a craving, I'll ALWAYS stop at Javier's first!“

“Oh my, what delicious food. Very authentic. Chips and salsa crisp and flavorful. I had a fine enchilada, abs especially liked the frijoles refritos. Friendly service, we'll be back!“

“We decided to swing by Baja Fresh just before 9 p.m., relying on Google's listing that stated they were open until 10 on Saturdays. However, it turned out that Google had the wrong information about their operating hours. Despite this setback, the staff at Baja Fresh were incredibly understanding and patient with us. They took our orders efficiently, and we ended up enjoying our meal at home.“

“Buena atención y esta bien la comida y estacionamiento bien“

“My buddy & I went here for lunch after church & enjoyed some tacos. It was a good experience as always when we come here & the food was delicious as always. I've eaten here many times & I've never been disappointed.“

“Buena atención y esta bien la comida y estacionamiento bien“

“We've been coming here for over twenty years. I used to give it five stars, but they changed recently. Now the street tacos have a single tortilla, and they fall apart when you eat them. They might be a little bit bigger, but having them fall apart is a game changer for us. We're looking for another taco joint where they still make the tortillas themselves.“

“Buena atención y esta bien la comida y estacionamiento bien“

“We tried this place for the first time today! It was always busy whenever we would drive by no matter the time. Now we know why! The food is really delicious and healthy sized portions! Will definitely go back!“

“Today Went there to get something for lunch, Order the 2 item combo, Took a long time, With person speaking on the Intercom very hard to understand them, And communicate, Need somebody that can communicate on there. Menu board is messed up Needs to be fixed with proper pricing, Been like that for weeks maybe months.Could not find on menu went to the window and they give me a menu, Told me it was 11.49, Menu says 899. They have a very small sign out there that's that says that prices are going up but who knows how long it's been there, And how long they will be doing that, and they can charge whatever price they want on and on and on and on. Not good business practice as well as illegal deceptive pricing. Should be investigated by bbb..How long has it been going on and how long is it gonna go on. It's time to stop gouging The consumer, Just trying to keep the money going around, Keep businesses going, Not gonna take on a 3rd job just to pay for these high prices.“

“The owner is always nice, never in a bad mood, will joke around and that’s makes you feel welcomed, over all the food is great, the tacos are always good especially early mornings, place will sell out sometimes, great place to eat on the “

“Pretty good. Tortillas came out in a smelly cloth warmer that could be washed more often, I let the tortillas air out. Food was tasty. The main dining room doubles as storage for boxes. Floor was sticky. We had the desayuno and pupusas. Overall good meal.“

“Open 24 Hours. Good food and very nice pricing.“

“Can't speak for the inside, but we used a mobile order through the drive thru and they were pretty fast, but they did forget a whole food item so we had to drive all the way back to get it. From the other people in my party, this was the second time it's happened to that person in the past month. Food was good and fresh though!“

“Fish taco is a new item on their menu and looks like a burrito as its wrapped up in the tortilla - yummy and filling. We never miss out on a chance to get the yummy mexi-fries on the side. Burrito with potatoes called 5 alarms is one of our favs. Cant go wrong with picking 4 items for $7.95 as another meal option.The staff in this restaurant are always very nice and helpful. Very happy that they have opened up their dining area as we never liked ordering from drive-thru.“
